Three types of student work are evaluated for grades. Shorter work, often used by us as a quick check of your understanding and progress toward bigger concepts are graded as "assignments". During the trimester we will occasionally stop and ask you to respond to a prompt that encourages you to tie together the daily tasks you have been completing. This kind of task helps you to construct a deeper understanding of the material and shows us the level of your comprehension. We will ask you to complete several of these "working portfolios" during each trimester. Your lowest score of the trimester will be dropped. At the end of each theme (diversity, systems, population, environmental health, winter survival, sustainability, capstone) we will ask to show us a compilation of your thinking during the theme. These "major assessments" may be a presentation, a paper, an interview or some other means of helping you demonstrate your newfound knowledge. Grades are posted electronically on the district's student information system. Click here to access the system. It is your responsibility to stay up to date with your grades. Please ask for help if you need assistance accessing the online system. |

| Work is accepted as late for one calendar week after the due date. Grades earned are reduced by 20% during this period.
Work completed more than one week late will be reviewed and returned to provide you feedback on the work. It will not receive credit. Calendar weeks include vacation days. Work should be turned in early when you will miss the day(s) before vacations start. |
Students with extended absences should ask for extensions when reasonable. Speak with us early when an extension is needed.
Students with short excused absences are expected to turn in work on return. HOWEVER, major papers and assessments are due on the posted date. Email your work or send it in with a friend when unexpected absences occur on these due dates. |
